It's been a long 10 years since
G. Love & Special Sauce turned up on MTV with
a catchy chorus that made "I like cold beverages" sound
like some kind of mantra. Since then, G. Love has released
a few albums, including a greatest hits compilation, become
a father, and changed record labels — he now records
for buddy Jack Johnson's Brushfire Records. But the sound
remains the same: the "hip hop blues," a term G. Love
coined himself. The man and his reenlisted Special Sauce
ramble into the McDonald Theatre in support of last fall's
The Hustle, a G. Love solo effort and his first
recording in three years. See Friday Calendar.
The
UO Queer Film Festival, now in its 13th year,
is the longest running gay and lesbian film festival
in the Northwest. This year's selections include Jonathan
Caouette's debut,Tarnation, which has been hailed
as a masterpiece by critics from New York to Seattle
(for EW's take, check the online movie review
archives or last week's issue). Caouette stitches together
snapshots, home movie footage, answering machine messages,
bits of '80s pop culture and more to create a strange
and vivid self-portrait. Other films showing during
the festival include The Raspberry Reich, Freedom
to Marry, and, perhaps most amusingly, "Once More,
With Feeling," better known as "the Buffy musical"
(pictured left), which will show as a sing-along Friday
night. See Calendar.
The Last Friday Artwalk expands yet
again with this month's offering: 15 gallery stops along with
eight public artworks. The tour begins at Possum Place with work
by Sean Äaberg (pictured right) and meanders through Eugene,
ending at the Museum of Unfine Art, where work by "local and inter-galactic"
artists is on display. Stops along the way include employee art
at Sam Bond's Garage and a group show at the new Firehouse Studio.
See Friday Calendar.
